| The group consisted of Ralph Milne Farley (Penname of Roger Sherman Hoar, a former Wisconsin senator), Ray Palmer, Arthur Tofte, Lawrence Keating, and, later Stanley G. Weinbaum. Its primary importance lines in the fact that upon Weinbaum's death, the Fictioneers sponsored the publication of a memorial volume, Weinbaum's Darm of Flame. Conrad H. Ruppert, the printer for Julius Schwartz' Fantasy Magazine, set the type and ran it off two pages at a time; RAP arranged to have the book bound The original introduction by Palmer was deemed too personal by Weinbaum's widow, so another by Keating was substituted. Six copied with Palmer's introduction are known to exist. |
| From Fancyclopedia 1, ca. 1944 |
| A group of professional authors in Milwaukee, probably not limited to stf writers. Many wrote for Amazing Stories after Ray Palmer took over editorship. |

| This is a group page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the group formed, its members, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, external links to the group's website, etc.
When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the group existed. This is probably not going to represent the group's full lifetime, so please update it if you can! |
